Lovely site, very clean and great facilities. Only downside was the midges which the campsite obviously can't control.

Convenient and clean

Very well appointed and exceptionally clean. The entrance for tall motorhomes looks daunting but is in fact, no problem.

Super site

This place is a real find. Wick is a terrific example of community spirit. Those on the NC500 should stay more than a night. Stop and smell the roses.

Epic stay!

This could not have been a better for my wife and I as "virgin" campsiters! New facilities, all really clean and well serviced. All you could need from pre-arrival until departure.

Beautiful site

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesMay 2025

Wick River Campsite was one of the best we stayed at while touring the NC500 in a motor home. The facilities were excellent, really fresh, clean and well appointed. Access to the site was easy, especially as we had a unit taller than was able to access from the main entrance. The proactive text with link to where the alternative entrance helped reassure us we were accessing from the right point.

Incredible site

This was our first night on the NC500 and the site is amazing! Very very clean and modern. The lady who checked us in was very helpful and super friendly. We will be recommending to people who go on To do the NC500 and we will stay again if we ever do it again.

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

We stayed here for 4 nights, my husband and I, along with our 11 yr old daughter and our two dogs. We all had a fabulous stay here, the facilities are fabulous, very modern and clean toilets/showers. The shower cubicles are spacious so you can get dressed in there after showering. There are three hairdryers in there. The only downside I'd say is that they close the toilets between 11am and 2pm for cleaning, which is a bit inconvenient if you've had a chill morning and want a later shower. There are various water stations around the camp with drinking water. The grounds are extremely clean and well presented. Other facilities include a clean and spacious washing up room, which has a communal fridge and a freezer (very handy). Also, a lockable phone charging station. There is a laundry room to wash your clothes on the go, which again is very handy. The onsite shop at reception is handy but does close at 8pm. There is a play park at the back of the campsite if you follow the river down towards Wick town, you will see it, it's fabulous. Consists of a zip line, which my daughter loved and a sunken trampoline, which is great fun. There are many walking areas around for the dogs to run off the lead (off camp). There is a Co-op nearby which is handy. We tried the chippy, Chinese and Indian in Wick for take out and each meal was fabulous. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with our stay and if it wasn't a 10 hour drive away, we would definite be back time and time again! Loved it!
